<p>Purchased my Hp Velotechnik Scorpion FS three years ago and I have over ten thousand miles on the trike. I am retired and spend summers in Michigan and winters in Florida. The trike has performed perfectly with no problems what so ever. I have gone through a couple sets of tires and a couple of inter tubes but that can be expected with all the miles I have ridden. I have upgraded the tires to the Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires and have not had a flat tire since. I have also added a flashing rear light to make me more visible during the day and a safety flag. I have also added a pair of the B & M mirrors and a rear rack so I can attach my two Pannier Bags. I really love the suspension the trike has, it really does a very good job at smoothing out the bumps. Some of my riding friends have purchased some high end rigid trike and I hear them complain sometimes about the bumps. I have been really happy with my trike and recommend this to people who are considering purchasing a recumbent trike.</p>
